True. I don’t really see his wager as anything more than something to think about. I think to believe in God because of Pascal’s wager is a pretty awful reason to believe in something. But again, I think it can open the door of ‘why not’ – why not explore the topic of is God real or not (or if someone wants, if god(s) are real or not, because it shows there’s no harm in investigating the topic.

But it’s not meant to prove the existence of (let’s say the Christian) God, it shows that’s there’s no reason not to believe in a God – it’s up to the person to pursue the subject of which “God” or “gods” are correct —- which can’t be done through a philosophical study.

It doesn’t prove the existence of God, but it does argue logically that one does better to believe in God than not. My problem negates that logic, since if the God one believes in is the wrong God, one fares no better than atheists… Possibly worse, if the ‘actual’ god is vindictive
